Saint Nicholas Church in Kotka

Saint Nicholas Church exhibits Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical design elements, featuring stone walls and an elevation of 15 meters above sea level.

The construction of Saint Nicholas Church occurred between 1799 and 1801, following designs by architect Jakov Perrin from the Saint Petersburg Admiralty.

The church houses sculptures and religious art, which represents an unusual characteristic for Orthodox churches found throughout Finland.
